The zen40HDR flat panel detector and the GIGALIX X-ray tube give the Artis pheno outstanding image quality. Resolution for 2D imaging is four times higher compared to prior systems of Siemens Healthineers in all recording processes thanks to the system's new 2k recording technology.

The StructureScout feature can adapt and optimize imaging parameters to best suit the material structure of the area being X-rayed, which enables even less radiation to be used compared to prior systems of Siemens Healthineers . Artis pheno is designed to support treatment of multimorbid patients, and can be fitted with a comprehensive range of optional software applications to deal with complex cases.Thanks to the hygiene approach developed especially for Artis pheno, the system has large, sealed surfaces with fewer spaces, which helps customers with system cleaning.
